HISTORY OF OUR COMPANY
Greensboro, North Carolina-based and locally owned Carolina Digital Phone, Inc. has been a North Carolina corporation since conception in 2000. Carolina Digital Phone has deep roots in the Piedmont Triad as a third iteration of changes in the technology field starting in 1985 as a computer Sales and Services organization known as MicroComputer Resources, later to become MCR Computer Services in the late 1980s. With the birth of the internet, the company became a very successful dial-up ISP in the early 1990s. In mid-2000 the company’s dial-up business was sold to TriVergent, a telephone company based in Greenville, SC. After that successful migration the owner, Nicky Smith started another company CAROLINANET to become a data center for hosting websites, servers, and applications in downtown Greensboro. More recently the company has re-branded its various services under one name “Carolina Digital Phone”.
Responding to the overwhelming business demand for cloud-hosted phone service we got beginnings by providing virtual phone systems to small businesses and Fortune 500 companies alike. This service remains a key offering, including business enhancing features such as 800 numbers, auto attendant, call forwarding, and call-queues. It was only natural to become an Interconnected-VoIP carrier with the new technology becoming more widely accepted by business owners of all sizes. Carolina Digital Phone was founded in 2005 and today serves hundreds of commercial customers nationwide, with a major focus in the surrounding states that include, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. Carolina Digital Phone is not limited to these states and has a market presence in almost every state in the U.S.
Our platform technology has been developed in-house to provide a unique, customizable, and flexible solution that works with any company’s workflow. Based in Greensboro, North Carolina our company is privately-held and remains profitable through strategic partnerships and the ability to develop new technologies ahead of the curve.
